PDF Design Menu for Summer Online Courses– Style A

 

I was tasked with the role of project lead for creating the client-facing PDF Design Menus for Summer Online Courses style A, which is the more formal monochromatic version of the two versions that we are going to offer our client. Project managers will use our PDF Design Menus to show clients what we can offer them to customize the graphics for their course.

 

Canvas Homepage Graphics

This is the general style guide for the canvas homepage banner

For style A, we are using the round canvas button graphics

Canvas Dashboard

To make sure the course title and professor’s name are legible, we decided to keep the dashboard graphic clean.

Stingers (More icons!)

We are offering 4 general stinger options for both style A and style B: Quiz, TA Discussion, Chat, and Survey. Style B will be in a different color scheme

Back to making icons yay 😀

     

     

Title Slide and Pre-roll

Professors can request a title slide for their ppt presentation. Pre-rolls will be sent to the video team for animation.

iPad Overlay

This is a mock up of how the course will look on ipads.

I’ve begun work to annotate some photos that help instructors set up in-home studios for classes. There is a strict appearance for shadows, text, and arrows which I’m following, and almost all of the photos I’ve gotten have had the need for a stronger gradient beneath to make the text visible, but maybe I should be looking to find darker elements in the photo to place the text instead.

LACS Infographic – Entrepreneurship

 

The design STAs are creating infographics that will replace the text on the career guides pages: https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/lacs/graduate-students/guide-intro.php

 

My assigned topic is Entrepreneurship. With Bridget’s template, we are able to speed up the process and maintain a consistent art style. I spent the past week creating icons for the “Pathway” sections, which shows the career options of each topic, it was a really interesting learning process with all the advice and resources Suloni, Abriella, and Bridget provided. These are some icons I made:

 

This is how the infographic looks right now:

 

LACS INFOGRAPHIC– K-12 EDUCATION

Here are my drafts that I have sketched out for the K-12 infographic. I am currently waiting on feedback from my coworkers then I will make these in photoshop. Below are the different icons for each topic. The ones with only one image were approved.

Technology:

Teaching and Tutoring:

More Banners

To make documentation more interesting, Suloni and Abriella came up with the idea of adding more graphic elements such as banners and relevant icons to knowledge base tutorials. I made a banner for the how to package logo design tutorial.

 

Info-graphic and Icons

For the LACS info-graphics, Bridget made a beautiful template that makes everything so much more efficient. I created an icon for “higher education,” Abriella, Bridget, Suloni, and Valerie gave me some very helpful inputs and I am excited to learn more about icon design through this project.

This is the info-graphic I was assigned, I am currently working on the pathways icons.

 

CWGS Banner Update

The Center of Women’s and Gender Studies requested a banner change. Brazilian artists Grupo OPNI made some stunning graffiti in the CWGS reception area, which the new manner features. I can’t wait to stop by and check them out in person.

Here is a link to more photographs of the mural: https://utexas.app.box.com/s/nn439kltmihqe72odiagnluubdlxasb6

 

 

Personal works

Before spring break we were playing with some servo motors in my fabrication class and I didn’t get a chance to return them, now school is closed so I get to keep them! I’ll be using them for a little toy I designed, it’ll be a tv with multiple scenes that you can switch to by turning the servo. These are the draft and mock up:

 

 

SCJS Logo

Dr. Lichtenstein and Galit decided on the final design, this is how it looks like:

We are now waiting on the headquarter’s approval.
